The deduplication problem… • SME has 250,000 customers (two systems of record) • To identify duplicates brute force approach: 31,249,875,000 comparisons • Building a system to process a minimum of 100 clients a day… • 3.1 trillion records to compare using > 10 different algorithms • Traditional scale up approach would be expensive, and makes large assumptions around blocking and partitioning rules • A small data problem but a big data solution?

- 20. How to make Big Data work? 1. Understand your problem • ’Big Data’ challenges aren’t necessarily new, however much of the technology is • Articulate and communicate – focus on distilling your problem down • Incremental improvement not wholesale replacement 2. Apply appropriate tools • Understand the economics as well as the technology • New technologies need to be evaluated within the context of your problem scope • New technologies are enablers not deliverables (#datalake) • ’Big Data’ technology should be seen as complementary to existing technology 3. Automate everything • Continuous integration to include all testing • Containerise where possible • Measure everything © the DataShed Limited 2015
